Baozhong is an aromatic and buttery oolong from Wenshan in Taiwan. It is rich in amino acids, giving a satisfyingly full-bodied and rich flavour with a fine sweetness and a delicate floral quality.
Despite its green appearance, baohong is an oolong that has undergone both wilting and light oxidation. Among oolongs, baohong is one of the least oxidised. The tea is grown entirely without pesticides and artificial fertilisers.
